Miele C3 Cat & Dog Canister Vacuum Review USA

[@robappleby583]

Mine is about 12 years old, still as good as new and is easily the best vacuum I've ever used. Amazing product.

[@serbanoctavian3307]

I have this vacuum for 4 years and is still rock solid ! I have 2 cats so i 'm using it almost daily. After 4 years I can say it is great, never had any issue with it and cleaning performance is top notch ;

"Carbon filter to neutralise pet owners." That took a dark turn really fast.

[@PerformanceReviews]

😂🤣

[@TheBlueMeanie]

Thank you! Picked up one today and ran it through my house (3K SqF). Two dogs and a cat and decent amount of 70s carpet. Looks like I FILLED THE BAG in one run. Granted I likely didn't but I looked in with a flashlight and they thing is packed! My old college bissell vacuum was apparently little more than a noise machine. I spent the money because my allergies have been KILLING me since I've been work from home for the last 18 months... NO JOKE, I already feel better. THANK YOU!

[@gerardamerongen4209]

Great review! I’ve had mine for several years now. I only recently noticed an issue with dust/dirt getting into the chamber and cleaned it up. I did not know that every time you lift the lid to access the bag that you have to reseat it into the holder. This may be why it misaligned and caused some of the dirt to bypass the bag and accumulate on the pre motor filter. Upon checking the post motor filter, it seemed to be pretty clean. Other than that I LOVE this vacuum cleaner and never hesitate to recommend it to anyone. Truly worth every penny you pay for it!

[@Cleaning_Hero]

Just bought one of these for my grandma for Christmas. She was floored by the way my C3 cleaned her thick rugs, carpet and hard wood. She loved using it. I bought her the C3 Marin, though. She wanted the SEB236 and loved the blue color. Bought if at 30% off!

[@teh12man]

Whoa. Where did you find it with that discount?

[@user-lz6dm5lk9y]

Yes, I would like to know, too! @@teh12man

[@mxpxmtb]

Bought the Kona this spring after watching a lot of your videos. I couldn’t be happier.

[@TheKitchenTechnician]

What a great review and great tips for users. Just bought a C3 and love it!

[@milanzerewan7332]

I perfer the c3 cat and dog. And i bought it yesterday

[@white711]

I have joined and been watching your channel for a while, so informative and entertaining! You definitely have influenced my purchase of my tristar. Sucks so much better than the shark.

[@reggaebob3]

Just bought a C3 Brilliant - amazing machine - but yes, powerhead is made in Poland! Still works well and grooms nicely, up there with the Sebo ET1 and Lindhaus 12” as my favorite. C3 overall among my favorite machines for performance and ease of use.

[@113jpk]

Thank you! Very helpful! We just purchased our Miele from our local dealer!

[@alluringming]

After deciding and looking at countless reviews between this and kenmore i decided miele style. Though i went with the Miele Classic C1 since it was more in price range. Hopefully last me a good long while

[@mbongho90]

Miele vacuum is the best vacuum in the world!

[@_JuSt_Ic3]

But the strongest vacuum cleaner is the Philips power pro ultimative power cyclon 10

[@victoriatadlock5928]

Do you recommend this machine or a Sebo ET1? Could you give a brief explanation of your answer?

[@nunyabiznes4471]

Nice video! I have a c-3 and it’s a great vacuum. I did however, transition from rug to hardwood to a small rug and the fringe got sucked into the power nozzle. The power nozzle shut off, there was no ripped out fringe but the red button is on for the power nozzle. There are no obstructions to the power nozzle beater and it rotates as it should. The red button will not reset. Any suggestions? Thank you.

[@angeryitalianchef7251]

I’ve never tapped so fast

[@timothyandrewnielsen]

The cost of those bags is crazy. Id buy the unit if they didnt require a bag. They want 5.5$ a bag. Id go through 4 of those a month easy. Thats like 20$ a month or 240$ a year to use the vacuum! Screw that! Can you empty the bag and reuse?!

[@PerformanceReviews]

You'd have to be doing over 10,000 ft to go through 4 of those a month. They condense the bag if you have a Bagless machine think about 10 to 20 empties per bag. No they cannot be reused that's the point not to touch the dust.

[@1953childstar]

They went up to $29.99 for a pack of 4… I sold my 3 Miele C-3 machines on eBay. The tools are not great… The only good thing is the suction. A repair is a disaster..

[@user-lz6dm5lk9y]

This vacuum looks really good, but the cost is phenomenal. I have a Labrador, and Labradors shed profusely year round. Also, their hair is notoriously difficult to get up out of carpet and upholstery. Will this vacuum really work on Lab hair?

[@PerformanceReviews]

This is really one of the best vacuums on the market still. Buy with confidence.

[@AnonZero0]

*Thank you.*

[@sarahoakley2885]

Thank you for the great video! I've been looking at a C2 Electro +. However, I noticed the C3 Kona is $200 more. I would be fine with dial selector, outside tool storage and smaller bag size (I think). However, are there other factors, in your opinion, that would make the C3 Kona a better purchase and worth the extra money?

[@PerformanceReviews]

Yes these C3machines really are excellent. I'd highly recommend getting one and even going for a test drive at your local dealer.

[@sarahoakley2885]

@@PerformanceReviews Thanks so much!

[@fidanaliyeva8455]

Is there any Mielle models with reusable bag?

[@peripateticmind8461]

Almost snagged this beauty, but I decided to go for the Sebo E3 😎

[@angeryitalianchef7251]

Both are very good

[@HowDoYouDo87]

Would this work well for birds? Seed can be irritating to clean.

[@michaelharness3258]

Great video as always. I have the Capricorn. Is the suction better with the new models?

[@PerformanceReviews]

It's marginally better with newer machines maybe 10-20% You can see what the numbers were in my Capricorn review here. kzbin.info/www/bejne/npvFdWakmrh8h6M

[@lahaza6515]

Hey! You have sideburns! I tried to talk the guy who I'm thinking about dating, to grow some & he did this little dinky dink, one inch thing. I'm going to show him your video and tell him that's what I'm talking about!😂

[@victoriacline6682]

My power head won’t work. Is there a reset button?

[@EngineNoise305]

does this have comparable suction to the shark vertex pro lift away?

[@PerformanceReviews]

The Miele C3 has significantly more power then a shark. Shark vacuums are Bagless and the suction tends to fade really fast. Here's an example with the same suction gauge used in the above video. kzbin.info/www/bejne/j2TdlXd6jt-Di8k

[@beauandamandafuqua8564]

Would you recommend the C3 Cat & Dog over the C1 model?

[@PerformanceReviews]

Yes, here is why. kzbin.info/www/bejne/rZncdatmeM2HmaM

[@allanwind295]

Can you upgrade one of the C3 models with just the power brush control to the full control panel?

[@PerformanceReviews]

Not really. One would have to buy a ridiculous amount of parts that would probably cost more than just buying one with the handle controls.

[@allanwind295]

@@PerformanceReviews Thank you.

[@dianem3012]

Thank you for this. When you did the soft carpet demo, you used #4 on the head but which setting did you use on the cannister? My cannister has a dial setting, but the same options. I can't tell which carpet to use. Thanks!

[@PerformanceReviews]

It depends on your padding and carpet. You want to play around with it until you hear a sound change

[@dianem3012]

Yeah that's the problem. Half my house has more plush carpeting and better padding. The other half is pretty low budget. I found it very hard to vacuum the plush side. I'm not sure which direction to go towards to make it easier to move it. When I made it too much easier, it didn't look like there were any vacuum lines- as if nothing was happening. There is no explanation in the instruction manual about the two carpet types on the dial. That's why I came to youtube!

[@khrhee5]

I have a question. Here in my country, c3 with electric hose is not imported and the versions we have has a silver plastic cover on where the electric hose would attach to. Would the electric hole appear if I take out the plastic cover?

[@PerformanceReviews]

You would need to add the wiring in the lid and a different circuit board.

[@khrhee5]

@@PerformanceReviews Thanks for the reply!

[@heystarfish100]

Is the vacuum cleaner you linked to on Amazon being sold with a full factory warranty by an authorized dealer?

[@PerformanceReviews]

Yes to my knowledge it is. Though it's always a good idea to check out your local dealer

[@LilKrayz24]

I’ve looked everywhere in Australia and they don’t sell the power hose version. Are the Turbo heads better than the electro head ?

[@milanzerewan7332]

No the electric head is better Im so sorry

[@user-lz6dm5lk9y]

Yes, the electro head is better for medium to high pile carpet apparently.

[@peterbassett4931]

Nice miele vacuum

[@danstecich993]

What kind of carpet do you test this on? Will it work well with Smartstrand/Triexta carpet?

[@PerformanceReviews]

That's exactly what you're seeing in this video when we refer to " soft carpet"

[@stevec9102]

You did not do a noise test as you did a suction test. What is the db level at normal suction power?

[@PerformanceReviews]

See video.

[@Cleaning_Hero]

Do you prefer the SEB236 or the SEB228?

[@PerformanceReviews]

The SEB 228 is the newer of the two designs and has a few internal improvements. I personally prefer this nozzle.

[@srinimaverick]

17:20 have you made a video review of the Eames lounge chair that’s visible in the background?

[@PerformanceReviews]

No there's not much to say about that other than it's a classic.

[@LlyleHunter]

Is there really a need for a HEPA filter if the bag is a high quality HEPA bag?

[@PerformanceReviews]

Do I personally need it no. But am I going to do it yes. 😁

[@bettiesullivan2334]

What is that middle suction setting that looks like an ear for?

[@PerformanceReviews]

It's the lowest setting you can set it where it will still pick up off floor. Yes it has a picture of an ear 👂 as it's the lowest noise setting.

[@taciturnia]

how can I make a tester to verify my vacuum I bought online, is in good shape?

You buy the tester from a Vacuflo dealer

[@Anthonythesider]

Miele should make a longer hose

[@plyazcady]

THE C1 VERSION IS ON SPECIAL FOR BLACK FRIDAY 20%OFF, DO YOU THINK ITS WORTH IT

[@PerformanceReviews]

The C1 is a good machine if you have under 1500 square feet. Keep in mind it has a short 19-ft cord.

[@plyazcady]

Yes, by far.

I wish the USA would get the new power efficiency motors the 890watt version out performs the 1200 watt vortex on suction and airflow

[@PerformanceReviews]

They did update the 1200 watt motor a few years back it is more efficient than it used to be.

[@jeroentabor4760]

True but it is outdated i think the energy reduceing the EU did is amazing and good the amount of fine dust they pull of the floor is amazing and shocking how 2200 watt powerhouse couldnt even come close with their pick up
